Landscaping & Garden Design in Lorca

Hello, I am Álvaro Ferrer, project coordinator at TuExterior. If you are looking to transform your garden or terrace, our specialized team provides expert landscaping in Lorca to help you make the most of your outdoor space. Situated in the Alto Guadalentín comarca, Lorca is a city of remarkable scale with a population of approximately 98,451 residents. This size is reflected in the diversity of its landscape, from the coastal beauty of Puntas de Calnegre to the expansive inland estates in areas like Purias, La Hoya, Tercia, and Campillo. Living here means dealing with a challenging inland climate characterized by intense summer heat and low rainfall, which requires a specific approach to plant selection and irrigation efficiency. Whether you own a villa in a quiet urbanization or a townhouse near the historic center, we understand the local soil and sun exposure. Regarding investment, in Lorca a landscaping typically runs 30-120 €/m² including local labour, depending on the complexity of the design and the materials chosen to withstand the Murcian sun.

Regulations and Permits in Lorca

Navigating the legal requirements for landscaping and outdoor structures in Lorca is essential to avoid fines and ensure the longevity of your investment. All installations involving awnings or tensile structures must comply with the UNE-EN 13561 standard, which dictates wind resistance and safety requirements. At the local level, projects are governed by the Plan General Municipal de Ordenación (PGMO) de Lorca and the Ley de Ordenación Territorial y Urbanística de la Región de Murcia (LOTUS).

For most landscaping projects, such as planting, installing irrigation, or minor decorative changes, a "Declaración Responsable" or an "Obra Menor" permit is sufficient. However, if your project involves significant structural changes, perimeter walls, or large excavations, a full municipal license may be required. It is important to note that recent urban updates, specifically Modification 84 (Mod. 84) of the local regulations, focus heavily on residential protection and urban modernization. This modification may influence what can be built in certain residential zones to ensure the aesthetic and functional harmony of the city. Our team handles the technical documentation to ensure your project aligns perfectly with these local Lorca ordinances.
